$10 million dollars worth of Hardware may have been lost in the blaze – the fire took place in an undisclosed location in China. This is a huge blow to the mining firm – they had also announced shipment delays for their customers who ordered mining hardware.
Around the same time of the misfortunes of this Chinese bitcoin mining farm, strange things were happening on the Bitcoin chain. New blocks normally appear every 10 minutes – however, as this fire was raging and destroying the farm, the new block didn’t appear for almost two hours. This is one of the longest gaps between blocks.
hmm, no blocks for ~2 hours, how much hashpower did that fire take out? probably just variance but curious timing 🤔 pic.twitter.com/xVKxqnViMC
